18 He wore cursing as his garment;

it entered into his body like water,

into his bones like oil.

18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat;

may it soak into his body like water,

like oil into his bones!

18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment,

So let it come into his bowels like water,

And like oil into his bones.

18 Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing,

or the water he drinks,

or the rich food he eats.

18 He cursed others as often as he wore clothes.

Cursing others filled his body and his life,

like drinking water and using olive oil.

18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment,

And it came into his inward parts like water,

And like oil into his bones.

18 And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

18 He wore cursing as though it were clothing, 

so cursing entered his body like water 

and his bones like oil. 

18 He wore cursing like his coat—

let it enter his body like water

and go into his bones like oil.

18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat,

may it soak into his body like water,

like oil into his bones.

18 Because he wore a curse as his robe,

let it enter his body like water,

and into his bones like oil.

18 They called down curses on others as easily as they put on clothes.

Cursing was as natural to them as getting a drink of water

or putting olive oil on their bodies.

18 But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,

And it entered into his body like water

And like oil into his bones.
